Property Description
Located in a pretty, tranquil hamlet, yet just outside one of mid Finistère's most gorgeous villages, this is a unique opportunity to buy a country cottage with individuality, history and charm. With beamed ceilings and arches, classy hardwood flooring and a quirky, compelling design, this really is the original 'chocolate box' dream - and it's yours, at a bargain price!
On offer is a granite late 'main house', with 2 / 3 bedrooms, a huge kitchen / diner and spacious, comfy lounge. Attached, but separate: a two-bedroomed gîte for your visitors, and maybe, your paying guests. There's a great opportunity for business here, maybe a B&B. All that's needed is a little bit of imagination, and your very own personal stamp!
Set off a country track and surrounded by herbaceous greenery and a range of trees and shrubs, access to the main house is via a gravel path and through a glazed wooden door to a huge kitchen-diner, approx 9m x 3.5. With ceramic floor tiles and a number of exposed beams, lathe-plastered walls, a skylight and arches, this is a light and open space, with windows giving views of the garden. A standalone wood-burner provides a cosy glow and winter warmth. Though a sink unit and work surface are installed, there's ample space for you to visualise, design and install your own fitted kitchen. Rustic and 'period' to go with the house; or a cutting edge, modern style to provide contrast - the choice is yours!
There's a scullery / pantry for your food and utensils, and exposed granite provides an eye-catching feature. Steps lead down to a comfortable lounge, 6m x 5m. This is a classic and classy space. Again, exposed beams and archways, and a large granite & oak beamed fireplace, with insert wood-burning stove. A hardwood floor has a rich feel and look, and a window offers a view of the shrubbery, and in summer - lots and lots of colour.
From the lounge, access to a small room, ideally an office, work space, occasional bedroom or perhaps computer room or library, 4m x 3m. Like the rest of the house, this is beamed and plastered, and has a classic 'manor' look.
A spiral staircase gives access to the first floor, and two bedrooms.
Bedroom 1 is very spacious, 5m x 7m approx, and has a fitted bath! Again, a hardwood floor and an arched, beamed ceiling are contrasted by white plaster, giving contrast and a 'clean' appearance. There's a view over the garden, and lots of ambient light.
Bedroom 2, 5m x 3m approx, with electric ballon water heater and doorway to the salle d'eau, with WC, washbowl and shower cabinet.
Connected to the main house, but separate from it and with its own access is the annexe or gîte: perhaps for rental, or for holiday lets?
This comprises an open-plan, beamed kitchen / diner / lounge, with a modern, tiled kitchen, complete with appliances. Tastefully decorated, this is a pleasant room, a great place for your guests and visitors. A door leads to a glazed conservatory, with relaxing views of and access to a small courtyard, adorned with mature shrubs & bushes, and in the summer, lots of colourful flowers.
WC.
Upstairs? Two bedrooms, shower room and separate WC.
Outside, a gravel drive and courtyard, an area set to lawn, a small orchard and a private garden, surrounded by hedges. A potting shed for your gardening tools and a second shed, perhaps a space for hobbies.
This property has a well, providing water for the garden.
Nearby?
Scrignac village with a bar, restaurant, post office & convenience store.
Guerlesquin & Huelgoat - both 'petit cités de character' each 15 minutes away. Each has a supermarket, restaurants and great walks around lakes and forests. Both are popular with hikers, cyclists and horse riders.
Morlaix & Carhaix? Less than half an hour away... whilst some of Brittany's most beautiful beaches? A little over half an hour away.
If your dream is of a life in a classy, country house far away from the stress and strain of city life, this is your opportunity to buy into a better lifestyle! With a great sense of community and a mix of French and English neighbours, integration into Breton life is effortless, and living, so much more simple.
